Free admission for USF
Kennedy speaks here Sunday
Robert Kennedy is expected
to touch on the topics of Latin
American relations and the
problems of minority groups
in the United States in a
speech here Sunday night at
7:30 p.m. in the memorial
gymnasium.
The ostensible reason for
Kennedy's address is to speak
before the annual Latin American Day Conference, but he
has expressed the wish that
the audience include as many
bay area collegians as
possible.
From 6:30 to 6:45 p.m., USF
students with ASUSF student
body cards and faculty with
complimentary tickets will be
admitted free. After 6:45, the
general public will be
admitted.
It is likely that Kennedy's
appearance will draw a considerable overflow of people,
so students interested in attending should be prompt at
the gym.
A number of tickets have
also been sent to San Francisco State and to City College.
The Latin American Day
Conference is being sponsored
by the bishops of the five local
dioceses (including Joseph
SRO for RFK
McGucken, archbishop of San
Francisco) and the university
is only involved in providing
the facilities. The conference
begins at 10 a.m. Sunday.
The Senator from New York
had been approached by the
USF Young Democrats two
weeks ago, and it is thought
that the club's request had
something to do with Kennedy's decision to speak at
USF.
"We have added eighty new
members since the rumor of
Kennedy's appearance here
got out," beamed Tom Wad-
dock, YD president.
The Demobabes will act as
ushers Sunday night. They
also plan a "spontaneous'
demonstration as the Senator's entourage approaches
the gym.
Kennedy, on a campaigning
tour for Democratic hopefuls,
is expected nonetheless to deliver a non-partisan address
at USF. However, informed
sources speculate that a word
or two on behalf of Governor
Edmund Brown might well be
dropped by the Senator.
Kennedy's address, which
will last about one half hour,
will be delivered to a crowd of
at least six thousand—the full
capacity of the gym.

'Why God?7 to be debated at the
Tuesday Harney plaza town hall
Library lacks space;
may need expansion
"Why God?" is the topic for
discussion at the next Town
Hall gathering, which will
take place in the University
Centre Mall at 11 a.m. Tuesday, October 25. Town Hall is
ASUSF President Tom McMenamin's student - faculty
communication program.
"Do we need the wheelchair that Jesus is pushing?"
McMenamin said of Tuesday's
up-coming program. He hopes
to take issue with the roots
and purpose of theology at
USF, and to emphasize the
place of God in man's life.
Invitations to be on the
panel are being sent to faculty members Albert Zabala,
S.J., chairman of the theology
department, Eugene Schal
lert, S.J., assistant professor
of sociology, Dr. Ralph Lane,
chairman of the sociology department, and Dr. James McClendon, graduate theology
professor.
Student panel members are
expected to be Patty Jones,
Johanna Smith, Andy Berner,
and Tom Sandborn.
The October 13th Town Hall,
which discussed academic
freedom, has received overwhelmingly favorable reaction.
"I think the students responded well," McMenamin
said. "The faculty response
was equally enthusiastic. As
long as the students and faculty show an interest, I'll attempt to present provocative
topics for Town Hall discussion."
"Surprisingly articulate and
intelligent," was the comment
of James Straukamp, S.J.,
when he was asked about the
discussion on academic freedom.
Clark Kerr, President of the
University of California at
Berkeley, was eating lunch in
the University Centre, overlooking last week's Town Hall.
He is reported to have been
amazed that so many people
could gather in one place without rioting.
In the future, McMenamin
plans to provide a microphone
for each panel member, and
to place two mikes within the
audience to facilitate overall
participation.

The Richard Gleeson Library is bursting at the
seams. Due to a crucial lack
of space for students and
books, the library may
have to be expanded upwards and outwards in the
near future.
"Before many years have
gone by, we will have to go out
to Golden Gate Avenue," predicted James McCauley, S.J.,
a member of the library committee, who said that the
ground-level foundation of the
library extends north to Golden Gate.
"We definitely need more
space," said Miss Juliet B.
Clark, head librarian. "We
added a little more than 17,-
000 volumes last year," she
continued. "Our circulation
(books borrowed) for last
month increased around 1200
more than the same month
last year."
Adding to her problems are
the now defunct Church Index
and the development of a rare
book room for source and antiquated books.
The circulation of books that
once appeared on the Index
is hampered by the fact that
most of these books remain in
the reserve book room, although a student is no longer
required to have special permission in order to use them.
Next to the librarian's office
is a small rare book room.
"In the room," Miss Clark
said, "we have one of the finest Thomas More collections

Problems discussed at
departmental meetings
Departmental meetings of the various majors were held
on Thursday, October 6. They consisted of one hour sessions at which the department heads, members, and students could meet one .another .and discuss the aspects and
problems of the wide range of majors.
Close to twenty separate
meetings were held in the
University Centre, Gleeson Library and Phelan Hall and
enthusiastically attended by
hundreds of students.
The general plan of the
meetings was an introductory
address by one of the department heads foUowed by question and answer sessions between the floor and a panel of
faculty members. Most of the
meetings culminated in informal discussion groups or a
free interplay of ideas between tbe faculty and students.
Among the topics discussed
were the nature of the majors
and the opoprtunities they offered. Dr. Vincent Wright,
head of the business adminis
tration department, explained
the problems of course requirements for graduation in
his opening talk.
The conversation in the philosophy meeting touched on
the same subject, projecting
it on to graduate school. At
many of the meetings the talk
was concerned with the purpose of a university in relation to the specific majors.
The concept of departmental meetings is a part of ASUSF
President Tom McMenamin's
big goal of increased communication at USF. These meetings took place under the wing
of Don Betz, who will have a
complete report of the accomplishments of and reactions
to them today.

Two New York artists,
Judith Wehlau and Irene
Maupin, are giving free art
classes to parents and children in the Haight-Ashbury
at their store-front Haight-
Ashbury Settlement House.
The two women work full
time at night jobs to provide funds for the Settlement House, which has
been open since July fourth
of this summer. With seven
volunteer teachers, they
provide art activities for
about seventy children a
week.
"The teachers range from
a rich prep school boy who
wants to 'do good' to a Negro woman out of the Oakland ghetto who wants to
become a nursery school
teacher," Miss Welau said.
